If the essence of being an audiophile is the acceptance and elevation the subjective sensibility regarding judgement of equipment and music, then it seems to be a contradiction to exclude Spotify listeners from the audiophile realm. After all, by implication, the OP both highly values the Spotify from both audio quality and content perspectives. Essentially, given the singularity of the audio experience, you have no 'standing' to issue a judgement on who may be admitted to the audiophile club. Of course the thorny issue remains: given the primacy of the 'subjective' evaluation, what generalizations, if any, can be made?
